Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: What do you do for platforms like OS X where we support one set of binary files that contain multi-architecture C-files that can run as Intel-64, Intel-32 or PPC-32 on the same machine at user option at run time? For example, the Apple-suppled system Python on OS X 10.6 has all three and you can use `arch` to specify which to run (PPC is emulated on the Intel machines supported by 10.6):
$ file /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python2.6: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures /usr/bin/python2.6 (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/python2.6 (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 /usr/bin/python2.6 (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc The static IN.py currently shipped in plat-darwin is misleading at best. And you can't improve the situation by regenerating at installation time. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
